3. Life Cycle of Small white butterfly<br />

Causes severe damage in spring (April to June) and<br />

autumn (Sep. to Oct.) in most parts of China. Or July to<br />

Aug. in colder areas, especially higher altitudes.<br />

Overwintered pupae come to eclosion in March in mid-<br />

downstream of Yellow River. Newly hatched larvae<br />

appear in April. Damage peaks from May to June.<br />

Population decreases from Jul. to Aug. It increases again<br />

in Sep. Then the second damage peak appears, which is<br />

less severe than the first.
